Middle Cerebral Artery - Answer MC location for cerebral vascular accident
Subarachnoid space - Answer location for lumbar spinal tap, between arachnoid and pia mater.
L1/L2, at conus medullaris, followed by cauda equina - the roots for lumbar, sacral and coccygeal nerves
through the lumbar cistern. - Answer Where does spinal cord terminate?
Bell Magendi Law - Answer Dorsal Roots - sensory, afferent
Ventral Roots - motor, efferent
Chorea (quick movements) - Answer Damage to Basal Ganglia will cause?
Parkinson's Disease - Answer due to neuronal degradation of the substantia nigra "Lewey Bodies".
